Anyone on the KIP DEVILLE bandwagon
 
I was on this horse last year when everyone knocked him. Man has he really come into his own. Breeders cup winner and eclipse award????

Saw him up close at Santa Anita for both his wins. BIG good looking horse.

I've liked him for a few races now... was VERY thrilled when he won at Keeneland.

I didn't think much of him last year, but wow...has he impressed this year.
Do you know if he's back at Hollywood gearing up for the Shoemaker mile next month?

I have cashed quite a few tickets on him. I keep thinking every race, there is no way I can get a good price on him, and sure enough I do. :D Nailed the exacta and tri in his last race agianst SU. And his race before that in Calif. He is a really nice horse, now that he will rate somewhat. Remember the race where he was 45 lenghts in front on the backside?

i saw him at the Va. Derby last year. i was convinced after that race, they should not run him beyond 1 mile.

Sure has improved a bunch this year. The talent was there last year, but he just seemed to put it together this year. I think we might have a Breeder's Cup Mile angle forming. How about three years in a row the winner of the Maker's Mark Mile wins the Mile??

I seem to recall JJ and Steve talking this one up on ATRAB before the current success.

Is that the woman on Miami Ink ?:p

i see him getting better and better with each start. IN the makers it seemed like he was unprepared for the start, was pushed out in the first turn, 4 wide down the back, 3 wide turning for home, put away a game showing up and held off the others. he earns a 106 beyer while having a bad trip.

At a mile I think he is great. Anything past that I think could be a challenge. I still think Showing Up is better, but KD is going to be one fine mile'r.

Yeah I think SU is a nicer horse but with the layoff, I thought Kip had a great shot agianst him. And it paid off nicely.:D

any race longer than a mile, SU is the better horse, more versatile. IMO
